In March of 1997, film critic Roger Ebert interviewed author Arthur C. Clarke, who wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey." The interview was featured at "Cyberfest ‘97,” a gala celebration at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
In "2001: A Space Odyssey," the evil computer "HAL" is said to have been born in Urbana in 1997. The gala event marked HAL's fictitious birth, and celebrated the U of I's contributions to the revolution and evolution of computing

i miss both of these people immensely. ebert's cancer is visible, clarke is very elderly; they both know death is near, but they soldiered on till the end. quite inspiring to witness!

This interview shows very clearly how Arthur Clarke is much better as a question poser than a question answerer. He is not a scientist, he is a poet who opens up those infinite spaces of speculation in which we can lose ourselves but also find ourselves.

"I don't think any trilogy should have more than four volumes" A dig at or a nod to Mr Adams?

Clarke was a great scientist and visionary.

Impressive interview by Ebert. He's knowledgable enough to ask some sensible questions about science and science fiction.

Is this some kind of joke? How can such an amazing interview have only 4000 viewers?

I doubt this is the only publication of the video since he has been dead since 2008. So likely more people viewed it then just those that saw this video.

There’s a lot. Clarke and Heinlein asked about moon landings very uplifting.

Wow this is one of the most amazing interviews I've ever watched... Soul catcher- a programme that stores human intelligence, emotion, spirituality to basically create an identical copy of another human being. Time probes- Guardians of the Galaxy 1 had a teaser on these, now that is mind blowing and Mr Clarke here was really ahead of his time on these and many more ideas. The ending however is a bit of a dissapointment can't hear what they are saying.

Good Ole Big Brother 'splaining things away with Satellites above the moon at a full stop, and seagulls to the great Arthur C Clarke. Nice to see he had 6 or 7 sightings. Bravo old boy!

If you listen to Artur Clarke's accent then you will know where the American accent comes from. He and I come from the same part of the UK.

I love that fact that Roger used the book 2010 to prop up his phone! Subtle and brutal all at once.

It's now January 2024 and ChatGPT is talking to me full screen with a beautiful voice from my Television assisting with multiple queries, 28 years later. (but we still don't know if there is life on Mars)

Such a shame he wasn't cryopreserved. Such a loss to humanity, the absolute master of Sci-Fi.

The star child looking at the audience at the end of 2001 is to signify the audience looking into the mirror at ourself, as if the audience is the star child.

Maybe Clarke became more persuaded that the “ Time Probe” was a closer possibility when he co-wrote “The Light of Other Days” about quantum tunneling.

It still isn't well known that some of the very earliest examples of science fiction were actually written by women, and long before Jules Verne or H. G. Wells; an example is Margaret Cavendish's "The Blazing World" (1666).
